Have been to see haematology, was given a chest X-ray, a few blood tests and told the lymph node in my groin was to small to be biopsied.

i called haemotology 3 days after my appointment to see if I could get my blood results and was told everything was normal other than some slightly high white blood cell levels. The doctor on the phone did not seem overly worried but this could be a sign of some sort of leukaemia, especially when taking into consideration my night sweats and lump in the groin. 

Whilst glad this is progressing I am still super anxious and these last 2-3 weeks I have tortured myself googling things and self diagnosed myself with 3-4 different cancers which has made me really depressed at some points.

I am lead to believe the next step is an ultrasound of the lump and then depending on what that turns up, and what the official report into my bloods say maybe some further blood work will be required. 

Hello!!

Im also currently going through lymphoma testing. My lump is in my neck. Ive been to ENT amd had to get the camera down my nose. From there ive been referred for a scan and biopsy. 

Like you i have googled and googled amd have convinced myself i have this cancer. Its such a scary and unknown time 

Wishing you all the best

Hi Mummyto2 and thanks for replying!

I’m still waiting for a letter to come through giving me a date for an ultrasound of the lump in my groin... hopefully sooner rather than later because I’ve sadly let this consume my life. The haemotologist was convinced it was a benign growth (lipoma) but despite his expertise it was no comfort hearing that.

googling... where do I even start.. to begin with I thought it was lymphoma, then I convinced myself I had adrenal cortical caronoma, then lung cancer and then back to lymphoma or leukemia... if that alone doesn’t show me I shouldn’t be googling and leaving it to the doctors I don’t know what will but I still find myself googling signs, symptoms, survival rates and treatments at least every hour. 

I couldn’t agree more, it certainly is a worrying and uncertain time.. I just feel like my life is on hold completely.. I have a baby due any day now and have had to turn down some opportunities I would have jumped at had there not been this ongoing investigation into my health. 

Il have my fingers crossed for you too! 

So after an ultrasound scan it has been determined the lump in my groin is a benign fatty tumour (Lipoma) 

relieved is an understatement!! 

Hi Robbie

I'm going through the same as you right now. Lump on my collarbone. I've convinced myself I have cancer somewhere in my body.

Going for a scan this week.

How did your lump feel ? Mind moves a lot and is just under the skin. Can squeeze it like a little stress ball between my fingers.
